This is an essential learning opportunity for parents and professionals who are supporting, loving and advocating for trans and gender nonconforming kids. Travers will touch on the spaces and relationships where kids from kindergarten to adolescence need their people to advocate the most: school, sports, healthcare, in extended families and with peers. The combination of Travers lived experience, clinical research and current advocacy work allows them to bring a deep level of understanding and a wide range of practical strategies will make this an incredible learning experience for participants.

Bring your questions and concerns for the Q & A portion of this workshop.

Dr. Travers is a Professor of Sociology at Simon Fraser University. Their recent book, The Trans Generation: How Trans Kids (and Their Parents) Are Creating a Gender Revolution, situates trans kids in Canada and the US, white settler nations characterized by significant social inequality. In addition to a central research focus on transgender children and youth, Dr. Travers has published extensively on the relationship between sport and social justice, with particular emphasis on the inclusion and exclusion of women, queer and trans people of all ages.
